In 2021, I was a reader in the 25th Annual Moby-Dick Marathon, a virtual event that year due to Covid. This weekend, I participated in the 25-hour event in person as a scheduled reader on the Third Watch. Apparently, more than two thousand people visited the New Bedford Whaling Museum this weekend, and more than eight thousand watched the livestream.
